Is dolng what it can to cheek the foe, but, unless the mnsscs will co-operate with it, ofticlal pro- cautions can avail but lttle. The plague of 1771 swept away altogether about 130,000 of the Inhabitants of Moscow, for the clty was unpre- pared for the attuclk.

Norla it ouly the utter disregard of the Russtan people for clennliness and comfort which is now Ilkely to aceelerato the progress of tho plague.

It appears thatabout one-half of these yron particles are common to all sections, and that if wire-bidders were not in uae at all, still these magnets should be in usc in every mill in the country.

In speakinz of wire in wheat, t\ie Proirie Farmer, of this city, which has taken a great deal of palns to enlighten the ogricultural community on the subject, says: “he reinedy is shinple, and after the farmer lias taken what nrcmudon he can to keep the wire from the thresher, the ultimate remedy is left for the miller, who, by the adoption of some of the many practical devices, can casily over- come all the objections urzed aralnst the use of wirg for binding grain,” The same paper quotea {rom o number of millers who differ with the Minuesota millers in opinion, and among others Mr. Bain, President of the Atlantic Milllog Compovy, of 8t. Lonts, who has had some trouble, saya: ** Wire that will not treaic in the thresher must be used, or some luventor must get up BOMETIING IN TAOE MAGNET LINE to extract these pleces of fron.” This Ietter i followad with another, which is from tlinton Drizgs & Heermans, of the Star and Crescent Mills, of this city, who lave a cu- pacity of 600 barrels a day, ‘They write: * We bave never been troubled 1o the fenst with the wire in wheat renching our burrs or boits.
